It's Casey's Fault!!!

And he admits it. In a way, but not really.

First, we're sorry to have been offline thorough much hilarity. We will attempt to look back and comment on some of what's transpired recently as we have the opportunity. Sadly, a grim family duty has been distracting us from commenting and at times even following things recently. Fortunately we are now, as Casey might say it, "back in the game."

We were immediately drawn to the minor discourse between himself and "Mike Gambino" on his "Casey Serin Daily Miracles" Facebook page. We'll dispense with the fact that Mike Gambino appears to be a tard, but instead focus on the good stuff.

Mike notes that:

"It's easy to decide we are victims of something else in the world, a lot tougher to take responsibility and be free of victimhood."

Casey responds that:

"This course teaches you to take responsibility for EVERYTHING that you perceive. The good, the bad and the ugly. Everything in my life is my fault! haha. Love it."

We find the subtle difference between the two somewhat illuminating as to what is or isn't going on in the mind of our boi wonder (or should that be "wondering boi?")

Mike speaks of "taking responsibility" which we think most intelligent readers would presume to be somehow related not only to assigning blame, but also to accepting the consequences and dealing with them. Casey wants to merely state that the blame is his, then having done this to move on and forget about it, because after all he's going to find some miracles to make things right or maybe not even make things right at all, because that's really not his problem.

And that's the way things are back here at FalseCasey HQ, where two months later there's still not much new in the Caseyverse.

It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's... Mortgage Elimination Man!

Yes, it's Mortgatge Elimination Man! Strange visitor from a third world shithole who came to Sacramento with powers and abilities of loosing houses far greater than those of mortal men! Mortgage Elimination Man, who can wreck the value of anything he touches, bend (and sometimes break) contracts with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Casey Serin, mild-mannered occasional valet-parker for a semi-great Sacramento restaurant, fights a never-ending battle for scams, injustice and turning America into third-world nation.

And now, another exciting episode in the Adventures of Mortgage Elimination Man!

YES. He's Baaaaaack!

And by the look of things, he's now restyled himself as "Mortgage Elimination Man," more than likely hoping to sell some of the otherwise freely-available "advice" about Mortgage Elimination, a scam that apparently begins from the presumption that money is not real, therefore the mortgage never really existed, therefore, it can just be eliminated. We're not sure what the proponents of this system propose to do about returning the house to the original owner from whom it was purchased with money that isn't real, but that's the kind of question that only details guys like us would ever be concerned about. (In fact of the matter, we wouldn't be concerned because we'd never let ourselves get into that situation in the first place.)

According to posts forwarded to us primarily from his Facebook Wall (to which we have no access), he seems to be:

1. Involved with Aaron Krowne, the current owner of the old IAFF site, and a true nutcase.
2. Still interested in pursuing the Island idea, and apparently has one supporter who has similar goals. Funding pending.
3. "Couch surfing" around Sacraemento, which we take to mean that he's not welcome at home, or at least not on terms that are acceptable to him.

There is also some evidence that he is planning to provide advice based on a "produce the note" strategy that has worked at times. If that's his plan, we have some bad news for him: First, most lenders have gotten much better about getting their ducks in a row, especially given the long current lead-times to foreclosure. Second many courts are denying that defense when it's clear that the problem is only a technical one, not a real question of note ownership. Third, and most important, we're moving to a new phase of the foreclosure crisis. When Casey lost his houses, the problem was in subprime. These were mostly crap loans given to crap buyers for crap houses and often the paperwork was crap. Today's foreclosures are much more focused on the prime interest-only or option-ARM loans that were typically better done, typically during a less frentic period in the market and were less likely to have been securitized, sold or reassigned, meaning the paperwork is in better shape. Finally, the word on this strategy is out there. Nobody needs to pay a lazy bum like Casey to "help" them with it.

But really, Casey's strategy is always the same, to the point where it's kind of boring:

1. Make fool of self on blog
2. ???????
3. Riches and fame

Casey just hasn't figured out the second step yet.

We note that "mortgageeliminationman.com" has recently been registered.
[Note: within a few hours of our observation the site came live. Casey is still an idiot.]

We also note that morgtageeliminationman.blogspot.com and mortgageelimnationman.blogspot.com have been taken, the latter and maybe both apparently by Haterz™. The Haterz™ blogs, of course, are sure to be more entertaining than the real thing.

And that's the breaking news from FalseCasey HQ, where things are otherwise quiet on a Friday night.

Gone Again...

Since the bankruptcy, Casey's gone once again.

The Island2012 idiot website is still up there, but with no sign of life, just the clock ticking down to Casey's ultimate fail.

And no other news coming from anywhere else.

So, we don't have much to say and won't be posting much until there's anything new or different. If you know anything, let us know. Anybody been by the Serin compound lately?

That's all we know here at FalseCasey HQ, where it's cold and been raining.

Thanks Son, We're Broke!

The details are in and it's clear that the Serin parental units have filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition and repayment plan, apparently to avoid foreclosure on their house, trampoline and Casey's guest cell in the basement.

Reading through the filings, it's tough to say how much of the amazing credit card debt is related to Casey, but we believe a significant proportion of it is. Obviously, we have no way of knowing whether it's that debt that pushed them over the edge, or whether it would have happened in any case. But its clear that a chapter in Casey and his family's life is now over. For now, the foreclosure proceedings against them have been stalled, maybe for long enough that his sister will be able to finish high school before they are forced to get out. Life will continue.

Sadly, life will also continue in a manner that allows Casey to mooch for the forseeable future, which is too bad.

The filings:

Bankruptcy filing and attachments

Repayment plan

Repayment order

And that's the way we are at FalseCasey HQ, where we still think it's better to rent right now.

Casa de-Serin Auction Tomorrow?

Somebody posting on Walrus's blog mentioned that the auction for the Serin castle will take place tomorrow. We have not been able to confirm this, but apparently the requirement to post a notice doesn't extend to the requirement that it be posted in a place that is internet-accessible. The only way to get such information seems to be to subscribe to a real-estate listing service, and we're not really willing to spend that kind of money just to find out.

Anybody in Sacramento willing to take a trip to the courthouse steps tomorrow to check it out and report for us?

We suspect that the auction won't actually happen. If the Serin's have a brain among them (which, we guess, they may not) and if they've managed to avoid any advice from their malignant son, they will file for bankruptcy immediately before the auction and hold off the proceedings. In foreclosure capitals like Sacramento that's taking more than a year to work through the system these days.

And that's the way things are at FalseCasey HQ, where not much is going on.

MyParentsAreFacingForeclosure.com

It looks like the end is near for the Serin family's property-owning days. According to the Sacramento Court records, the Notice of Default on their property has been changed to a Notice of Trustee Sale. This typically means that sometime in the next month the guy in the funny hat outside the courthouse will auction off the Serin home, just as he did with one of Casey's properties way back when.

We're not sure what Casey will do then. There has been very little leaking out about this and his Facebook wall has been invisible for some time. There was some discussion in some circles about the fact that Casey's debt was at least 10% of his parents' obligation, and while there's no real corroborating evidence, that seems about right to us. How it might be impacted by a parental bankruptcy is unclear.

Prior to going blank on Facebook, Casey also alluded to possibly traveling and leaving the country for a while. He was discussing WWOOFing as one possibility of getting to the island of his dreams, and also mentioned something about some guy with big plans for an island resort in Fiji who was going to hire him into a great "opportunity." It's unclear if any of this came together.

What is clear is that the Serin parents will be renters for a long time to come, probably in a more modest home which won't have space for a moocher in his own bedroom. Casey's future looks like it'll involve sleeping on the sofa in some 2-bedroom condo where his parents and younger sister each get a room and he gets told that he can have his own space when he gets a job and pays for it.

For Casey this will be a major disaster. Sleeping on the sofa will mean rising at a normal hour with the rest of the family. It'll mean no late-nite blogging and Facebooking. It'll mean no getting high and acting stupid. And it's now winter, so sleeping in his vansion in the inaccessible snow-covered foothills will no longer be an option.

It sucks to be Casey's family in the best of times. While we have our quibbles with the way they've handled the boi, we do wish them well through their hard times. It sucks even more to be Casey though, but at this point we find it difficult to wish him anything but the roughest of times as he has clearly earned them.

Finally, we wonder how Casey missed the opportunity to start a blog about all this?

And that's the way things are at FalseCasey HQ, where we're late but had to stick around long enough to pass this news along.

Nothing New

We wish there were something to say, but there isn't. Casey has gone completely dark. Apparently he's not all that happy with the fact that his Facebook wall contents were leaking out even after he locked it down to "only friends," and has stopped posting anything of interest.

We have a tough time he's doing nothing, but we have no visibility as to what it is.

Anybody with an update, please let us know. If not, we'll keep on waiting. The boi just can't manage to avoid publicity, and we're sure he'll be back.

In other news, it seems that good ol' AngelTits herself has managed to sanitize her Google search records. We used to be ranked at #2, but she seems to have done some pretty miraculous sanitizing, eliminating both this blog and the Angel Lynn entry on CaseyPedia from any mention in the search results. In fact, it doesn't even come up if you Google "Angel Lynn Caseypedia." A bit thin-skinned are we?

There are some rumblings of a possible Haterzcon™ meetup in Utah in a couple of weeks, which usually just means BTC, Nigel and Funky get together for beers and act stupid. This wouldn't be surprising because BTC has been out there in January for the past two years and it seems to be a fairly normal occurance. However, we have no indication that Casey is planning to show up or that he would be welcome even if he could afford the bus fare to get there.

And that's the way we see it at the FalseCasey HQ, where the weather has been warm and so has the, um, "companionship."
